one person with a transmitter should be within
transmission range. The transmitter is switched
to an active state only when it is being used
for measurement. Sweat and other moisture
can, however, keep the transmitter in an active
state and waste battery energy. Therefore it is
important to dry the electrodes carefully after
use.
When selecting training attire, please note
that some fibres used in clothes (e.g. polyester,
polyamide) create static electricity, which may
prevent reliable heart rate measurement. please
note that a mobile phone, television and other
electrical appliances form an electromagnetic
field around them, which will cause problems
in heart rate measurement.
First find your maximum heart rate i.e. where
the rate doesn’t increase with added effort.
If you don’t know your maximum heart rate,
please use the following formula as a guide:
220 - AGE
These are average values and the maximum
varies from person to person. The maximum
heart-rate diminishes on average by one point
per year. If you belong to a risk group, ask a
doctor to measure your maximum heart rate for
you.
We have defined three different heart-rate
zones to help you with targeted training.
BEGINNER: 50-60 % of maximum heart-rate
Also suitable for weight-watchers,
convalescents and those who haven’t exercised
for a long time. Three sessions a week of at
least a half-hour each is recommended. Regular
exercise considerably improves beginners’
respiratory and circulatory performance and
you will quickly feel your improvement.
tRAINER: 60-70 % of maximum heart-rate
perfect for improving and maintaining fitness.
Even reasonable effort develops the heart and
lungs effectively, training for a minimum of 30
minutes at least three times a week. To improve
your condition still further, increase either
frequency or effort, but not both at the same
time!
ACtIVE tRAINER: 70-80 % of maximum heart-rate
Exercise at this level suits only the fittest and
presupposes long-endurance workouts
CONSOLE
BUttONS
1. SELECtION DIAL
The selection dial functions in two ways:
A) Rotating the dial (+ / -). By rotating the dial
clockwise, you can scroll the menus to the right,
and increase values or resistance. By rotating
the dial counter-clockwise, you can scroll the
menus to the left, and decrease values or
resistance.
B) pressing the dial (ENTER). By pressing the
dial, you can accept the selection you made
when rotating the dial.
2. StARt/StOP
Starts, pauses, and stops training. During
training, pressing this button once activates the
pause mode. pressing the button again starts
the program again.
3. RESEt
Single push: return to the program menu. Long
push: restarts the meter.
4. RECOVERY
Calculates your recovery heart rate index.
DISPLAY
Small window: Time (mm:ss), speed (km/h or
ml/h), RpM (revolutions per min), distance (km
or ml), energy consumption (kcal), heart rate
(bpm) and power (W) are displayed.
Big window: Starts to automatically scan
between the values of time – speed – RpM
– distance – energy – heart rate – power every 6
seconds. Scanning can be stopped by pressing
ENTER button. By pressing ENTER again you can
change the big window to display information
for the next value.
PROGRAMS
1. MANUAL PROGRAM
Set target time and/or distance and/or energy
consumption and/or upper heart rate limit by
using the SELECTION DIAL.
Start training by pressing START/STOp button.
If you have set target/targets, the target/targets
start to count down. Adjust resistance with
SELECTION DIAL.
2. PRESEt PROGRAMS
preset program profile is shown for two
seconds while programs are browsed.
